I've had these exposed wires dangling freely in my back courtyard for months. I live in an old, Philadelphia rowhouse, so I expected to lose power, namely because of those wires. Nope, I was fine. The lights flickered a few times, but we all still have power. The temperate dropped a lot, and there's a lot of leaves scattered about, but no damage from what I can tell in the surrounding area. Not even flooding in the basement. Best wishes to friends and family at home, and those in Jersey and New York. :[

I spent the day editing footage from the film I've been working on in my narrative production class.

We're filming with the Aaton LTR54 16mm camera. I'm sort of in love with it. For those who don't know, this camera was used to shoot a lot of motion pictures. The Hurt Locker is a recent example.



This was from our shoot when we did the exterior shots. The locations that day were a beautiful field and the remaining structure of an old abandoned farmhouse, complete with creepy basement. We used a five in one to bounce some light on Kim to really make the scene pop.
